Just curious if anyone’s running a MOTU 828 (or any other MOTU) on windows XP, one of my friends has been having lots of problems with his. It tends to crash his pc out a lot. The reason I ask is I was tempted on buying a laptop and running Motu but if it means I have to use a mac to keep things stable I will have to reconsider.

yeah i run a motu 828 on windows XP and it has probably crashed maybe once in a year
and i use it at least 4-5 hours a day solid
BUT dont get a dell laptop to use with the 828 - it aint compatible (i made the mistake) dell have some ****ed up driver in ther that shafts the audio playback and neither motu nor dell could fix it!!! (there is a warning somewhere on the motu website i think)jimmah!

theres an article on soundcards in FM this month & in the review of the Motu 828 it says maybe one of the best... for Macs.
is the whole sound card issue always so much trouble ? there seem to quite a few threads about this subject.
i love my hardware. i turn it, i press a button, it goes bang :lol:featured on VOICES Vol 1 - TEMPL8R.1 - V/A - AVAILABLE SEPT

Do you have a hardware sequencer too?

Actually the more hardware the better imo. It always seems to sound better than yer software, I would love to own a half decent sampler thats easy to use. One that you could somehow link up to the pc and send recieve samples to it via drag and drop. I have an old akai s1000, it sounds wickid (althought very noisey). To sample onto it takes some doing too as messa doesnt work with s1000's. That sucks imo
